The disparity between urban and rural educational infrastructure continues to affect performance levels.

Furthermore, the Sindh Health Department has set up dedicated help desks and online portals to address student queries, ensuring a smooth post-result process.
Future Prospects for Successful Candidates
For the candidates who have successfully cleared the MDCAT 2025, a new chapter of academic and professional growth now begins. Admission into medical and dental colleges marks the start of a rigorous yet rewarding journey toward becoming healthcare professionals.
Students will undergo five years of medical education (for MBBS) or four years (for BDS), followed by a house job in hospitals to gain hands-on experience. The healthcare industry in Pakistan, especially in Sindh, is in constant need of skilled and passionate doctors, making these candidates vital contributors to the nation’s medical future.
Moreover, with growing opportunities in both public and private healthcare sectors, along with international medical scholarships, the path ahead holds immense promise.
